This is not an AM error. The Clean was actually The Clash under a different name, a response to the early Clash fans who thought London Calling’s sound was too clean.

It doesn’t stop there though. They also hired Hamish and David Kilgour and Robert Scott to act like Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon. This was 7 years before Milli Vanilli! But ”Tally Ho!” didn’t become a big hit enough for this to be widely known.

The Kilgour brothers and Scott eventually continued for real as The Clean. Their first album, ”Vehicle”, was released in 1990.

Huh, kinda like how Sunny Day Real Estate changed to just Real Estate when their music switched from hardcore emo to warm indie pop, thus making the "Sunny Day" in their name no longer ironic. Or when Aesop Rock started spitting so many wordy rhymes he had to become two rappers just to handle them all, thus causing the split between Aesop Rock and A$AP Rocky.

Yeah, little known fact: every single British Invasion band who weren't the Beatles just performed songs the Beatles didn't want to do. You see, John and Paul wrote over 120,000,000 songs, and naturally they couldn't fit time in their recording sessions to do them all. So they sent them out to other British bands who wanted to be famous like them and saved the best for themselves (it was a sheet music mix-up that forced them to keep "Revolution 9" and gave away "Pinball Wizard")."Satisfaction"? John and Paul. "Waterloo Sunset"? John and Paul. "We Gotta Get Out of This Place"? John and Paul. "I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am"? Well, actually that one was Ringo, but he doesn't like talking about it. They even sent songs to other countries. Ever wonder why "Friday on My Mind" sounds so much like a Beatles song? You guessed it, John and Paul. John didn't really die, either: he just got chained up in Liam Gallagher's basement so he could write every single Oasis song. Rumor has it the reason the Gallaghers won't reunite is because they can't decide who'll tell John they broke up in the first place (he's still figuring out a new intro to "Don't Look Back in Anger" - he put the "Imagine" bit in as a placeholder).

Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand - Sir Duke (1976)

"Here I Go Again" first charted in Britain in November, 1982, in an earlier incarnation. "I wrote the song in Portugal in 1981," says Whitesnake leader and founder David Coverdale. "We recorded it on [Saints and Sinners] ... This album was not released in the U.S., so the song remained undetected for a long time." -- The Billboard Book of Number One Hits, Fred Bronson

Urge Overkill's "You'll Be A Woman Soon" actually came out in 1992, not 1994. It's on the band's Stull EP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stull_(EP)). I think the song is commonly mistaken as a 1994 release because of its inclusion in the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.

The name of the Public Image Ltd album is "The Flowers of Romance" (with a definite article). The name of the Public Image Ltd song on that album is "Flowers of Romance" (without a definite article). You call both the album and the song "Flowers of Romance" (without a definite article).

"Dueling Banjos" should be 1972. Wikipedia says song was released in December 1972. It entered Billboard Hot 100 in early January, which strongly suggests a late 1972 release. RYM says 1973, but the picture of the 45 that goes along with the entry says 1972.

I think “Al Capone” by Prince Buster should be listed for 1965. The earliest definitive release date on Discogs is ‘65 (by Prince Buster’s All Stars) which tallies with RYM. Although Wikipedia shows ‘64 the Discogs page it cites has no date attached. So ‘65 seems more appropriate.

The Clientele's "An Hour Before the Light" was first released in 1999.

Franz Ferdinand's "Matinée" is titled "The Dark of the Matinée" on the album track listing (it was retitled for the later single release).

The complete title of Nelly's song "Country Grammar" is "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)".

The artist credit for "Get Low" is currently "Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz feat. Busta Rhymes, Elephant Man & Ying-Yang Twins" but I don't think they all belong - Busta and Elephant Man were featured on a later remix of the song but the original version (the hit single, and the version being referred to on virtually all the lists it appears on) was only credited to Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz feat. Ying Yang Twins.

"If I Ain't Got You" is credited to "Alicia Keys & Usher" - Usher is only featured on a remix; these lists refer to the original version which only featured Keys.

"Survivalism" is credited to "Nine Inch Nails feat. Saul Williams" - to my knowledge this song has always been credited solely to Nine Inch Nails (Discogs says Williams was featured on some alternate versions but not the original version; Wikipedia says he does "backing vocals" on the original, which I'm not sure constitutes a featured credit)

Birdman is featured on Young Thug's "Constantly Hating" and DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over" but the songs don't appear on his artist page (http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/artist/Baby.htm - he's dropped the Baby alias and has gone by Birdman since)

2. "B.O.B (Bombs Over Baghdad)" by OutKast doesn't have spaces between the letters and doesn't have a full stop after the last 'B'

3. "Radio, Radio" should be credited to Elvis Costello and The Attractions. You might also want to add the comma as that's how it was first written on the U.S. release of This Year's Model but the single version omits it

4. Similarly, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding" is missing the comma, should not include an ampersand, and should be credited to Elvis Costello and The Attractions

Ned Raggett's "The Top 136 Albums of the Nineties (1999)" list contains Placebo by Placebo (#94) and Down Colorful Hill by Red House Painters (#95), but this isn't reflected on their respective album pages.

Boy George's version of "The Crying Game" should be 1992. RYM lists it as 1993, but that is not correct. The song debuted and peaked in the UK pop charts in 1992. Wikipedia also has the correct release date.

"Crazy" by Aerosmith should be listed in 1993. It was on the Get a Grip LP from that year.

1. I'm not convinced "Someone to Watch Over Me" was released in 1945 although it was recorded then. It looks like it was first issued on Columbia 36921 but I can't find a definitive release date for it. It definitely on his The Voice of Frank Sinatra album from 1946 so that may be a safer bet.

2. "Police & Thieves" by The Clash is written with an ampersand

3. The Moldy Peaches' "Who's Got the Crack" doesn't have a question mark...

4. ...and nor has "Where Have All the Good Times Gone" by The Kinks

5. Erykah Badu's song "Otherside of the Game" is written as four words, not five

5. "What a Waste", "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards" and "Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3" should be credited to Ian Dury & The Blockheads

Question: why are the Bee Gees still considered Australian? They were all born in the UK and lived/made the majority of their music there. They only lived in Australia for three or so years in the '60s.

For artists the country info is flexible ("Born, raised and/or currently living in...") but for bands it's (so far) just "Formed in..." and Bee Gees were formed in Australia.

Ah, fair.

The entry for the group ‘Together’ seems a bit inconsistent. The track “Together” is credited to DJ Falcon and Thomas Bangalter (Together) and shows on Bangalter’s own page (DJ Falcon doesn’t have his own one).

However, the track “So Much Love to Give” is only credited to ‘Together’ and doesn’t show on Bangalter’s page. I’d have thought that either both should or neither should, and that the artist names should be consistent as they’re the only two tracks they ever released under that name.

Shouldn’t Brian Jackson have his own page? He has dual credit on the album ‘Winter in America’ with Gil Scott-Heron, as well as the tracks “The Bottle”, “Winter in America”, and “We Almost Lost Detroit”.

1. Everything in parentheses is missing from "The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had to Swallow)" by The Jam

2. The dashes are missing from "2-4-6-8 Motorway" by the Tom Robinson Band

3. To be consistent with the way the album title has been written, "Oxygène (Part IV)" by Jean Michel Jarre should have a grave accent on the first 'e'. The 'IV' should also be in parentheses with the word 'Part'

4. "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" by the Bee Gees uses the word 'gotta' rather than 'got to'

5. Basement Jaxx's "Jump n' Shout" only contains one apostrophe

6. "Fire" should really be credited to The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

7. "History Lesson – Part II" by Minutemen is written with a dash rather than in parentheses

8. I’d say The Animals’ classic should be written “The House of the Rising Sun” - the original single version included a leading ‘the’ and is very often seen written that way

9. "Surf" by Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment features Jamila Woods

Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" is placed here at 1977. But that's the live version. (And that album, 'Live' Bullet, was released in 1976. The song was pulled as a single in 1977.) The song's first release dates back to 1973, on the Back in '72 album.
